I sometimes feel the same way as a director-level UX'er. That said I take great pride in mentoring juniors so if you do the same maybe it's time to think about giving back (you'll probably also find that you also get rewarded personally and professionally by doing so).
Also, at my company we recently hired another senior ux'er whom I consider a peer. She works alongside me on many of the same projects and the feeling of "the two of us against the world" is SO MUCH better than "individual against the world".
